Expecting Baby C

Overachieving...

I just got off the phone with our nurse, Nicole. She had nothing but great news for us.

My hcg level is 40,108 and my progesterone is at 34. Both are great levels and she said that everything is progressing really well.

At first I was wondering with my levels being so high that maybe a sign of twins, but once I checked the chart, I figure I'm right on target. I was at 11,048 last Thursday and the increase rate is >6,000 the level should double every 96 hours. That would mean that on Friday my level should be approximately 44,192. And since I'm already at 40,108 - I'm right on track.

I feel good, besides the whole exhaustion part, and calls from my doctor like this make me feel even better!

hcg levels:
* 0-1 week: 0-50 mIU/ml
* 1-2 weeks: 40-300 mIU/ml
* 3-4 weeks: 500-6,000 mIU/ml
* 1-2 months: 5,000-200,000 mIU/ml
* 2-3 months: 10,000-100,000 mIU/ml
* 2nd trimester: 3,000-50,000 mIU/ml
* 3rd trimester: 1,000-50,000 mIU/ml
* Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
* Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml
